UN Global Compact
The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is a strategic initiative that helps companies align their business activities and strategies with ten universally recognized principles in the areas of human rights, labor standards, environmental protection and the fight against corruption.
As a signatory to the UNGC, we are fulfilling our commitment through the publication of this report to produce a UNGC Communication on Progress—a public disclosure outlining our progress in implementing the 10 principles of the UNGC.
The table below summarizes how our existing reporting aligns with these disclosures, and where the information can be found on our website. In addition, this letter from our CEO serves as our statement of continued support for the initiative.
